COME AND GET INSPIRED TO BUILD YOUR OWN STRAWBALE HOME!
Saturday 14th of November

10 – 1 pm

$70 per person

Yummy morning tea provided

Experience the gentle feel of our strawbale home, hear about the building process and experience the feeling of mixing clay and straw together and applying it.
Visit the cellar, check out our composting toilet (Clivus Multrum) learn about clay and lime render, and how to make lime-wash paint with oxides.
The house is finished, so it is not about taking part in a building workshop but rather about hearing our story and the various tips we learned along our building journey.
Then, enjoy healthy refreshments and go home with a plan on how to build straw-bale walls our way!

A day to be remembered by little ones and big ones alike.

The children can have a go at:
- milking the goat,
- watch the cow getting milked,
- pamper and brush the goats and the pony,
- learn to make cheese,
- do some bee-keeping and honey extracting (without the bees!)
- learn to divide a plant and pot it to take home!
Plus have morning tea and meet Merrylegs, the rocking horse, and get to ride her!

- oh, and check for eggs as well!!!
All of is on our hobby farm, in Chidlow, and some of the activities are from within our strawbale home.
You get to visit our blooming gardens too!

A cheese workshop in which you learn how to make mozzarella, paneer and chèvre cheese.

We give you the recipe and you take samples home.

Chidlow is in the Perth Hills, where beautiful Lake Leschenaultia is!

The setting is in our colourful strawbale house overlooking the lush garden and the gently sloping valley.

We will provide morning tea in the garden if the weather allows!

Cheese!

In this workshop, we teach the basics of goat keeping.

They are indeed different from sheep, in their needs and ways to relate with us.

We show you the milking, feeding, foot trimming, talk about shelters, and other needs.

We provide a morning tea and a fact sheet to wrap up what we share.
